    Hey Jack,

    Thanks for including Hyperic in your breakdown. I don’t know if it’s worth mentioning, but Hyperic is actually written in Java and C (SIGAR is C), and we don’t have any external requirement for SNMP4J. It’s used by the SNMP plugins, but we include it in the package–not sure if that’s how you meant “external” or not.

    Thanks again!
